Film Festival. The fest will be held on April 26, 2018 at the Wilmette Theatre. At 6:30 doors open. At 7pm, roll film. The magic begins as we screen the movies. At 8pm, cue lights. A ceremony crowns selected filmmakers, who will be honored with Harris Awards in a variety of categories. If you're up for the challenge, this is what you need to know:

to fill out the form for your entry.

Remember that parents, siblings and faculty will be present-create a film for all audience

Dress for the night-it's a film festival-pull out those jackets and ties and gowns. Let's do it in style

Not all films will be shown during the festival; a panel of judges will select films to be screened; all those who submit will be notified whether they have been selected

Technical Requirements:

Each entry file should be named the same as the title of the movie

Each entry should have a 5 second "slate" (a simple black and white title card with the name of the project and those submitting it), followed by 2 seconds of black. This "slate" will not take the place of traditional titles or be shown at the fest, but is helpful in identifying the movie and those who created it.

Include 2 seconds of black at the end of movie

Adjust your audio levels so that they peak at -6 db. This will prevent audio distortion

Stop by the Helpdesk outside of the library if you have any questions or need technical assistance
